Polly의 사업 내용

Polly is a fun social polling app for teens. The app allows users to create multiple-choice polls for sharing on Snapchat and other platforms. Polly launched in stealth in August and it quickly became popular among teens, with 20 million people voting over 100 million times across 5 million polls in the past month. In addition to being a casual social tool, Polly can also be used to gather opinions about popular brands. For instance, Polly received thousands of responses from teens on some of its own polls related to topics such as breakfast cereals and Starbucks drinks. Brands and influencers can also create their own polls to gather feedback from consumers.

Social polling app for Snapchat and Instagram

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building Polly, a social polling app aimed at teens. It lets users create multiple-choice polls they share on Snapchat, Instagram, and other social platforms to get quick feedback from friends and followers. It's a fun, casual way to gather opinions and spark conversation, but can also be used by brands and influencers to get fast consumer insights.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company would be based there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where all three of us live, and it's where the social app ecosystem is strongest. Being close to our users and potential partners on Snapchat and Instagram is crucial.

자주 묻는 질문

Polly의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Polly의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Polly과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
